How can I recruit new employees easily?
A strong hiring strategy is the key to making recruitment easier. This means focusing on your employer brand, attraction strategy, and wider recruitment process. Here are 5 easy ways to recruit the best talent:
#1 – Create a ‘talent-winning’ employer brand
Your employer brand is what first attracts talent to apply for your vacancies. Optimising this is an important step in sourcing compatible candidates.
Focus on developing your brand as an ‘employer of choice’; survey your employees to identify your strongest values and benefits. These are the factors you should be promoting across your recruitment advertising campaigns.
What makes your current workforce choose you as their employer? Is it your unique company culture, your benefits package, your management strategy, or a combination of these factors? Identifying and maintaining these values is vital for attracting strong new talent to your team.
#2 – Upgrade your hiring tech toolkit
Hiring technology has made it easier than ever for employers to deliver successful in-house recruitment. By using software such as an Applicant Tracking System (ATS), you can achieve a talent-winning candidate experience, while making life easier for your HR team.
Streamlining your hiring process gives candidates a positive experience from application through to selection. This puts you ahead of the competition in securing more strong talent for your business – while boosting your employer brand reputation.
Social media is one of the most influential hiring tools of the past century. It’s likely that your brand’s online audience already contains potentially compatible candidates.
By promoting your employer brand and opportunities across social media platforms, you ensure your vacancies reach even more of the best talent in your sector. This is often more effective than using industry-specific job boards, which can limit the audience of your recruitment advertisements.
#4 – Set up an employee applicant referral scheme
Your employees are your strongest advocates for promoting your employer brand to new talent. Set up an employee referral scheme; incentivise bringing new candidates to your business through cash bonuses and prize-draws.
It’s likely that your employees’ personal and professional networks contain like-minded talent. Incentivising employee referrals makes it easier to source compatible candidates – saving time, and cutting advertising costs.
#5 – Use a careers site as a one-stop-shop for all your vacancies
Building a careers site provides candidates with a one-stop-shop for all of your vacancies and employer brand information. This helps to promote your opportunities to a returning audience who are already engaged with your brand.
If candidates are looking for a specific role or opportunity, they’re free to return to your careers site regularly to check out new vacancies. This reduces your reliance on job-boards, and helps to promote your unique brand values to candidates – increasing application rate.
